Are there any differences (other than the name and label) between Combat and Tanks Plus on Atari 2600?

Tank Plus was just reviewed on Classic Game Room. The Sears and Atari carts may look different and have different names, but the games play exactly the same. There are 3 Sears-exclusive titles that you should watch out for that don't have Atari-branded equivalents:

Steeplechase
Stellar Track
Submarine Commander

Are those different carts, or are those games on the Tanks Plus cart?

Those 3 are different cartridges. However, they will only be branded and labeled as Sears Tele-Games. You won't ever see them re-named or labeled as Atari "Game Program". Note that these games were made *by* Atari, but just given to Sears as exclusive cartridges.

Examples:
Steeplechase cartridge


Stellar Track cartridge


Submarine Commander cartridge

Cool, thanks for the info.

I needed some input on these versions, which is best or recommended and why?

Little Big Planet 1 vs 2
LBP Karting vs Mod Nation Racers
Mass Effect trilogy Xbox vs PS3
Silent Hill Shattered Memories & Origins PSP vs PS2

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure 2 is just a more expansive version of 1.

Mass Effect trilogy Xbox vs PS3

I haven't looked into it personally, but I'd assume it might be better on Xbox 360. Mass Effect 1 and 2 were designed for the Xbox, and usually multiplat games run better on 360, especially older games.

Actually, i'd say PS3.

I'm not sure on the technically differences, but the PS3 version of both ME1 and 2 comes with a bunch of the DLC for free. Plus both of them run on the ME3 engine.

Good insight so far,

I wasnt sure about which LBP to look out for, but LBP 2 does seem to be the better option. LBP Karting and Mod Nation Racers I may as well get both since Kart racers are popular with my family. ME Trilogy on PS3 will have to be a purchase for me one day although I finished 1 & 2 on XB360. I wonder if they (EA) would do a Dead Space Trilogy?

Any suggestions on the Silent Hills for PSP or PS2, I have the PSP versions but was thinking of making the switch to PS2?

Origins- PSP only. PS2 port is garbage.

Shattered Memores- Wii is preferable. PSP is okay. No experience with the PS2 port.
